Conspiracy
: a secret plan made by two or more people to do something that is harmful or illegal
: the act of secretly planning to do something that is harmful or illegal
How come so often people don't know how to use this word? Most of the stuff people call conspiracy theories are not conspiracy theories at all they are just theories. Conspiratrial thought applies to a member of a group planning to conspire or in the process of conspiring. Conspiracy theories are theories regarding a specific group conspiring to do something from the prospective of an outsider.
A theory about the energy grid or "vile vortices" has nothing to do with conspiracy. It is just a theory that is wild to some people. If you want to talk about secret societies or sinister characters of the ruling class then we are talking conspiracy.
I'm just saying this thread has veered off the tracks just because hearing a lesser know theory gets some people all uptight and nervous.
